OK this is the first blog, or primordial if you will!When writing poetry it helps to have an array of different words meaning the same thing. To this end I have been deep in thought (well, for about 10 minutes) about what to actually write my first ever blog about. It seems appropriate that on a bespoke poetry website it should have something to do with words, so to that end I will be blogging about words - strange words, unusual words, underused words, undervalued words, foreign words, descriptive words, old words, new words, long words, short words, words you might have heard of, words you have never heard of. So you get the idea! Anyway this being my first ever blog I have entitled it the primordial blog, and so lies my first word, primordial.

PRIMORDIAL [pry-mawr-dee-uhl]

pertaining to or existing at the very beginning

constituting a beginning

first formed

Originating between 1350-1400 in Middle England, the word comes from the latin primordialis (of the beginning).

A google search of the word turns up an image of Alan Nemtheanga, the lead singer of Irish Metal Band - Primordial. Not quite what I was expecting but further enhancing my knowledge of Irish Metal Bands!

So that's the first blog over, the primordial blog, you've probably read more interesting ones, but I'm just warming up....
